7. TROUBLESHOOTING

You can rectify the following problems with your fireplace cassette inde-
pendently, please contact your specialist dealer, stove builder or fitter for 
all other problems.

7.1  GLASS EXPERIENCING HEAVY, QUICK AND 

IRREGULAR SOOTING

If this has not been the case from the very beginning, please check the 
following points:

•  Are the correct fuel and technology being used?)
•  Are you experiencing atmospheric inversion? )
•  Is the combustion air regulator fully opened?
•  Does the sooting occur quickly within half an hour? (gradual soiling 

during operation of the system is normal. A car windscreen will also 
be-come soiled during a journey!)

•  Is the firebox insulation a perfect fit?
•  Is the wood dry enough? A moisture level of less than 20% should be 

measurable in the wood.

•  Has enough wood been added to the fire? (when the volume of wood is 

too low it is possible that an insufficiently high temperature has been 
achieved in the fireplace))

7.2 FIRE IS DIFFICULT TO LIGHT

If this has not been the case from the very beginning, please check the 
following points:

•  Are the correct fuel and technology being used?
•  Is the wood dry enough?
•  Is the wood too thick? 
•  Has sufficient air intake been guaranteed?

•  Cleaning the ceramic glass panel: 

The glass panel can be easily 

cleaned using standard fireplace glass cleaner, which you can also 
obtain from your specialist dealer. The glass fibre seals should not be 
soaked with cleaning fluids! Finally, wipe the glass panel with a dry 
cloth.

•  If you require access to the firebox or the flue pipe, you can open the 

inspection/maintenance openings. This requires the side blocks of the 
firebox lining and the deflector plate to be dismantled.

•  Regularly remove dust from above and below the fireplace cassette dur-

ing the heating season because dust particles may burn or char. This 
can lead to soiling of the installation room and the furniture within or to 
odour problems.

6.1 MAINTENANCE

The door seal must be checked on a regular basis. If necessary, this seal 
is to be replaced (due to wear, breakage etc.). The firebox lining must by 
checked at regular intervals. It consists of natural products that are subject 
to expansion and contraction during every heating process. Cracks can 
occur as a result. It remains fully functional as long as the firebox lining 
retains its position in the fireplace and doesn’t break. A yearly service of 
the fireplace cassette carried out by a specialist is indispensible to ensure 
fault-free functionality (where possible, before the heating season)! The 
fireplace may not be modified! Only original replacement parts that have 
been approved by the manufacturer may be used! Please contact your spe-
cialist dealer should you require any parts!
